Review: MARY POPPINS - THE BROADWAY MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League
by Greer Firestone - December 20, 2024


Even with a sentimental attachment (more on that later), Aisle Say had not visited Wilmington Drama League for years. I reviewed FREAKY FRIDAY, starring the luminous Becky Kotsifas and antenna then sprung from my ears. Next came KINKY BOOTS (starring Catherine Callahan, who is the titular star presently), then CARRIE and last week, MARY POPPINS.

Review: SPRING AWAKENING at City Theatre Company
by Greer Firestone - December 18, 2024


City Theatre remains true to its mission with a stunning, joyous, provocative rock n roll SPRING AWAKENING.

Review: HOLIDAY INN at Candlelight Music Theatre
by Greer Firestone - November 21, 2024


Aisle Say didn’t have enormous expectations for “Holiday Inn”, mostly because I have zero expectations for society in general right now. Happily, Candlelight abandoned their normal “Christmas by Candlelight” (a grab bag of seasonal ‘heartwarming’ songs). Two words you will never read in this column: ‘unique’ and ‘heartwarming’.

Review: ROUGH CROSSING at Resident Ensemble Players
by Greer Firestone - November 14, 2024


The curriculum vitae of Tom Stoppard is staggering. 1964’s “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” brought him initial fame in the theatre world. Prolific does not do the man justice. In every theatrical/writing genre he has excelled. Tony Awards, Academy Awards and every other conceivable one. To give some context, he wrote the film “Shakespeare In Love” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. His genius in writing is equal to that of Stephen Sondheim in musical theatre.
